- Abstract
Papular-purpuric gloves and socks syndrome is characterized by focal acral purpuric petechial eruptions. There are various causative agents related to this condition. In most cases, parvovirus B19 has been implicated as the etiological factor. In this report, we present the case of an 11 -year-old female patient with papular-purpuric gloves and socks syndrome having petechial and erythematous lesions only on her feet and legs. Acute parvovirus B19 infection was confirmed by sero-logical tests. The purpose of this report is to emphasize the presence of atypical presentation of this syndrome in children.
